Default how can i merge 2 workbooks using a formula?

Excel 97 - i need to merge 2 fairly large workbooks, however i cannot use
"compare and merge" because my workbooks are not direct copies of each other.
There may be a formula to do this, but I'm not sure. Please help!!!

Hi
you need top provide some more information HOW your files look like:
- e.g post some sample data
- describe the expected result,
- etc.

Thank you! I have 2 workbooks that are both about 5000 lines, both
containing roughly the same column headers and information. The first
workbook has a few 1000 rows of incorrect data, the second workbook has
several columns of incorrect data. Rather than go through both workbooks
line by line, is there a way to merge the correct data over the incorrect
data from each workbook???
